As the majority of contemporary society seems to be sleepwalking into the next mass extinction, we have examples of lucidity that have generated global action with impressive results that prove to us that we have the ability to act together for the benefit of humankind.
The Montreal Protocol is one such example of a time when all governments around the world came together and acted in unison with effective results that may have saved our planet from irreparable damage.
In 2021, the British government commissioned a 600-page review that establishes the framework for valuing biodiversity setting the precedent for a new type of gold rush - The Dasgupta Review.
In a world where carbon credits seem to dominate the narrative, the economics of biodiversity shows us that carbon credits represent only one small layer of the picture. At Las Azucenas we have proven restoration of degraded ecosystems is not only economically feasible they are financially viable.
In addition, we see a future where the wealth of nations is backed by the health of the planet. We now have sensors and satellites that measure ecosystem health in real-time, and green energy blockchains now validate information and provide us decentralized access.
The next generation of digital currency is being tested. This currency is backed by tangible assets found in the expanding biodiversity markets of biosphere restoration, reforestation of tropical hardwood trees by means of cultivation. This is not mono-cropping. It is cultivation of highly valued hardwood trees that are indigenous to the regions they are grown in.
Our commitment is to provide our customers access to verified impact projects that shape the future.
